The Daily Pioneer PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. Entered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., 8 second rlass matter. Official Paper Village of Bemidii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR The Globe Suspension. THE announcement that the St. Paul Globe, the only big democratic daily in the state, will this month suspend publication after a existence of thirty years has caused a veritable sensation in business and political circles in this state. Lack of advertis- ing patronage is given as the sole reason for discontinuence. The blow is a serious one for St. Paul, for a city of the importance of St. Paul that cannot support two morning dailies is certainly lack- ing in that aggressiveness that so distinctively charaterizes the progressive cities of this country. That the only big democratic daily in the state should be forc- ed to suspend while a perfect swarm of republican dailies pros- per and grow daily better and greater is also a significant politi- cal fact, and tends to show that the great mass of the people of the state prefer a newspaper which advocates republican poli- cies and measures. Northern Minnesota’s Mis- take. WHEN the people of northern Minnesota failed to support the republican nominee for governor last fall they made a mistake which has already cost them dear and which will cost them still heavier in the future. The Pioneer, though an inde- pendant republican newspaper, earnestly supported the nominee for the republican party. Since his election the editor of this paper has had occassion to meet Governor Johnsen and we have been strikingly impressed with genality, sincerity and earnest- ness of purpose. Yet Mr. John son is almost totally ignorant of the peculiar conditions which ob- | tain in northern Minnesota; he is a southern Minnesota man and he knows very little about us who live in this great section of the state. The things which we most sorely need Mr. Johnson looks upon with little sympathy —drainage, good roads, etc. He believes in these things in a general way but he is far from realizing their enormousimport- ance to us and the state at large. Had a republican candidate been elected, however, Minnesotla would have had a governor who was thoroughly familiar with the conditions which obtain in north- ern Minpesota and a man who has for years appreciated the fact that the development of this part of the stateand in a large _|could have accomplished measure of the wifole-comii wealth hinges directly upon the adoption of a liberal and vigorous | policy by the state in these mat- ters. These policies he has. for years enthusiastically advocated and promoted by every means in his power and it is largely to this secured what help the state has rendered it. What such a man for northern Minnesota in the gov- ernor’s chair the history of Gover- nor LaFollete in Wisconsin is an example. As it was the small group of northern Minnesota senators and representatives had to fight des- perately to hold what we already had. While Governor Johnson was not hostile no help came from him. Had the republican candidate for governor sat in the goyernor’s chair the legislative appropriation for drainage for the ensuing two years would have been $150,000.instead of $60,000. And this is but one example. rfl;‘;fi NORTH g Tt B E | COUNTRY Poachers take warning. —0— Every Czar has his troubles. g Hitterdal hit it up hard for a brass band. —0— The Easter Monday Ball makes quite a noise in the world. —o0— If the north country lakes would only cut out more ice! —0— Now that it has gone dry Me- Intosh has to have a law enforce- fact that northern Minnesota has |~ ~ OVER RESERVE| Minnesota Trying to Seeure Match at City Opera Hou'ser Title to Swamp Lands In | Between Shores and Root Itasca County.

The Indians claim pay for this five per cent. The citizens'of northern Minne- sota in Cass and Beltrami coun- ties strongly oppose the forest reserve proposition, especially the segregation of lands adapted toagriculture and the state comes in and demands its share of the area. Meanwhile the bureau of forestry insists on maintaining the forestry proyision of the Morris law. The fight was begun in Wash- ington during the recent session of congress, but only reached a preliminary stage, owing to the short session. Gifford Pinchott, chief of the bureau of forestry, after several conferences with Senator Moses E. Clapp, offered to yield up a comparatively small portion of the forest reserve, but ment league. —0— Rural route out of Erskine May 1.
